| / have summoned courage to perform the
task. shall be brief, for in an hour like
this words at their best are little more
than mockery-sound as hollow as the
clods that soon will fall upon this little
casket.
1t seems doubly sad that on the first
day of spring, just as the flowers are
getting ready to bud aed blossom, our
tiny bud should droop and die. Yet here
he lies-withered and dead.
On Tuesday evening, while many miles
away, letter reached me stating that
our pretty babe was sick, and very sick.
But it had been written four days before,
and as the wires brought no fresh tidings,
believed that he was better. Yesterday
morning was seated at table penning
word of cheer to his dear mother, telling
her that in week l would be at home
again. The thought filled me with Joy,
and in dream of fancy L saw our darling
running to meet me at the door, ready
to climb into my arms, when on the
wings of lightning came with staggering
force the cruel message--"Gene is
deadp'
1t is ever so-when least expecting it
we stand face to face with Death. At
dawn, at midday, as we'll as at life's eve,
he comes. His icy fingers daily with
youths golden curls as oft as with the
silver locks of age. The patriarch lies
down in his last sleep; with bleeding
hearts, beside bis shriveled corpse we
place the dimpled babe, and then, anon,
blinded with scalding tears, bend over
the mute form of companion fallen in
the very noon of life. All have wit
messed this grim monarch's work-have
felt the bitterness his presence brings.
Outssad experience to-day was, yester-
day, your own. Within these gates you,
too, have stood as mourners-have been
called upon to deposit on this sunny
slope some loved one l need not tell
you that in your hours of grief you had
our unfeigned sympathy. l know that
we receive yours now, and this will make
the burden Of our sorrow less.
Dear Gene, less than a month ago,
upon that cheek, then warm with life, 1 |
pressed parents loving kiss, and said,
goodbye. And now. upon the cold and |
pallid lips of my dead child I print a last |
fond kiss and say farewell

The result of a longer teaching on the
tailings of to-day's work will probably be
reported tomorrow The cost of this
process is in the proximity of So per ton.
Stockton is still coming to the front.
The mines are looking better to-day than
ever before in the history of the camp.
Mr.. J. P. Kelly, well-known gentleman
from this camp is in town. He speaks
encouragingly of nearly all the mines in
the district, but more especially of the
Hornorins, Calumet, Muscatlng, Silver
King, Nos l and 2, keystone, Her
cules, Signet, Central and Needer and
Prosser's mine, all of which have good
ore bodies in sight.
The st. Louis Company, which is
working the Muscating, Silver Kings,
No. g l and 2, and the Calumet miners,
has taken the large pump which has lain
idle for the last five years, from the
Hornorine, to the Calumet. The water
pushed ahead. Mr. Pascoe's concentrat-
ing machines which are placed in the
old Waterman building, will start up in
full blast to-day
The following items relating to Wood
River miner are clipped from the Times
of the 28th:
The people OF Crichton and Soldier, on
Camas Prairie, are greatly elated over the
developments made in the Comet mine,
on Deer Creek, in the foothills back OF
Crichton, by Mr.. SHREDDER, of Soldier.
After sinking 14-foot shaft in the vein
Mr.. SHREDDER drove 50-foot tunnel from
the bottom, and ascertained the ledge to
be six feet wide and to carry free milling
ore that assays $133.10 in gold per ton.
Mr.. SHREDDER says that he refused SIS 900
for the property last fall. He is going to
resume sinking and if the ore body holds
out fifty feet deeper, he would not sell his
claim for 100000.
The Jumbo mine, which is one of Cap
tain Gums group, is showing better and
better. Alex. Hofiiger, who came in
from there yesterday, reports that tn
ledge is eight feet in width, and that all
of it carries from 500 to 5000 in gold and
silver per ton. About $3.50 must, there
fore, be fair average. Mr.. Hoffiinger
brought in some specimens of Jumbo ore
which he left at Rupert's. They show
specks of free gold and flakes and blotches
of native silver, flanked by seams and
Jumps of chloride of silver. All the
miners and prospectors who have seen it
say that the ore is as fine as any they
they ever saw; and all are pleased that
Captain Gun has at last, after years of
arduous labor, demonstrated that his
faith in his property was well founded.

ARTISTIC WORK.
A Handsome House Handsomely

A Handsome House Handsomely
Decorated.
Mr.. l.. S. Stevens of the Seventh ward
has. unquestionaoly, one of the prettiest
and most stylish residences in this city.
It's architecture is Queen Anne or East
lake style; and with its many gables, its
ornamental roof and varied enrichments
in design gives it a most picturesque and
pleasing appearance. The style of archi-
lecture suggests to the painter fine op-
portunlty to display his art. Tullidge &
Co., the well known painters, have
awaited themselves of this opportunity,
by introducing combination of rich and
harmonious colors, which are at once,
both effective and pleasing; and which
are entirely new in the way of exterior
decorations in this city. The tints made
to play SO prominent part, consists of
nice blending of Terra Cotta's browns,
yellow and dark olive sash. The mas
sive front doors being grained in imita-
ton of antique oak. The roof being var
led in design, gives another chance to
the painter to display his taste in arrang-
ing colors. The entire effect here pro-
duced is something both rich and har-
monious.

are working so hard. Mrs. Froiseth sat
down amid ringing applause.
Miss Field was then presented with a
handsome gold badge, neatly modelled
and adorned freely with diamonds. The
badge bears the inscription: Presented
by the Loyal People OF Utah, April 80,
1887"
Miss Field acknowledged the token in
well-chosen words of gratitude and pro-
ceeded with little speech which gave
some idea of her life-work in the cause Of
reform.
Miss Monroe, of the Relief Corps, de-
livered highly eulogistic address, after
which letter from Mrs. Lincoln, Of
Provo, was read.
General Murray, Judge Zane and
Governor West then delivered short

ments and Misunderstanding closed the or

A GIRL SUICIDES,
Case of Biighted Affection-She
Takes Strychnfne

Takes Strychnfne.
A correspondent of the Logan Journal
writing from Millville, under date of
April 2Sth, gives the following: ga sad
and melancholy event took place here
about 8 o'clock on the morning of the
Path. A young lady by name Of Anna
Olsen, just turned % years old, COM
mitted suicide by taking strychpine.
According to the evidence obtained
In the investigation, it appears
that the young lady came from Sweden
to this country last July and has
since then kept house for her two broth
ers. Shortly after her arrival, it appears,
young man commenced to pay his adj
dresses to her, and, according to the
testimony obtained from witnesses be-
fore the Coroner's jury, it appears that a
promise of marriage was made, but had
not been kept through some little dispute
that had arisen between them. But from
his treatment of her on a number of oc-
casions by his visits at her brothers
place, it seems that the feelings of
affection of her for him still existed and
she thought and expressed to her
friends, that unless he married her she
would kill herself or go crazy. The day
previous to the sad act she was -. "
cheerful than usual = = -sle a"-.S Hiore
Of the oco,1 - s-.-i, and on the evening
:@szsSSP eocurrence the young man visited
her and stayed until late hour, and he
says they parted on good friendly terms.
She was in good health, and of quiet,
peaceful disposition, and in every respect,
so far as is known, she bore good char
acter.
Her remains were quietly laid away
this morning, without any ceremony, as
we cannot feel justified, on occasions OF
that nature, to pursue the same course
as we would in case Of those who die
natural death.
An inquest held over the remains and
post norton examination by Doctor
Snow, OF Logan, brought out the forego-
ing points"

monitor january n, 1853, during the recess
to I'LL a vacancy caused by the death Of
WILLIAM UPHAM. He took his seat on
january 10, and in October the Legislature
assembled, but failed to elect a man TO fill
the remainder of the ~unexpired term.
When Mr.. PHELPS attended the meeting
Of Congress in the following December, OBJ
~iectiOns were made 10 his resuming his
seat, and after investigation it was decided
by the Senate, by a vote of26 to II, '"That
the Hon. SAMUEL s. PHELPS is not en-
titled 10 his seat in the United States
Senate"
In 1858 JARED W. WILLIAMS was ap-
pointed by the Governor of New Hamp-
shire to I'LL a vacancy happening by the
death of CHARLES G. ATHERToN. The
Legislature afterwards met and adjourned
without eleeting a man to fill the remainder
of the unexpired term. The Senate, by
a vote of 81 to II, decided that Mr.. WILL
.IAMs was not entitled to his seat, "the
right of representation under appointment
having expired.
In 1885, the Legislature of Oregon, hav-
ing failed to elect q Senator, the Governor,
seeing that from precedent he had no right
to appoint, called an extra session of the
Legislature to elect a man to fill the va
caney.
We have not vet found q single prece-
dent that justiies US in believing that Mr..
LUCAS can take his seat. No man has
ever yet, so far as we know, held his seat
under like circumstances. The ease OF
BLAIR, of New Hampshire, who was APP
pointed when a term expired, was entirely
different from those quoted above, in that
the vacancy occurred before the meeting of
n new Legislature, the old Legislature not
having attempted an election, because it
believed that according to the law
this duty belonged to the new body.
Ii the Legislature should again fail TO
elect, all the facts bear us out in the
statement that, as Mr.. Lucas will be re-
jected, this State will he represented by
but one man in the United States senate
until on election can he had. Thus the
duty of the Legislature to elect is not only
imposed by the Constitution OF the United
States, but also by the self-interest OF the
people of our State, who are entitled to
their share of representation in the Ma
tional Senate.
